Most live discs do not contain development tools, so you would need to install Mandriva using the live disc, setup extra software repositories and install the development tools you need. Some editors are bundled with the live cd, but compilers and supporting libraries are not.

okay, could you please reccomend a compiler and library package, either combined or seperate.
I've recently installed the wrong packages on ubuntu linux, now the quick fix is just a live cd.

If you want to learn C, install the gcc compiler. It should pull into your system all the basic stuff you need to get you started.
